Any Brands to Stay Away From?

OK, so I have been reading the different forums, and everyone seems to have their likes and dislikes when it comes to pistols. All of the top makers seem to be making pretty reliable weapons. Are there any brands that you would not purchase?

Its a hard question. Personally I've used even a K-Mart shotgun and Sears muzzleloader, both which worked fine.
Roommate has had some issues with a Bryco Arms 9mm not feeding correctly but right now signs are indicating issues with the magazines, currently awaiting new ones to test that.

Really, I guess that reliability issue statement was a little off the cuff as far as those Austrian pistols go, they're not un-reliable I guess, not anymore than any other pistol. There are some that are worse! And I don't mean to offend anyone about their choice of firearms. But I don't trust or like Glocks, and would own one only long enough to sell it.

Do you care to elaborate as to why you wouldn't trust a Glock? What problems have you had? Just curious...

Personal experiences, I have none. But I have seen (in person) examples of "KA-BOOMED" Glocks, and have read of many more. Enough to know that I don't want one. Looks not withstanding (after all, I shoot a Witness), they're not going to win any beauty contests. Anyway, there's just something about Glocks that gives me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. And to quote Walter Cronkite..."And that's the way it is".
